Ramshot grand experience

[Odd1out]

Anyone have any real experience with ramshot grand? Wondering how it stacks up to the reloading manual info. I found staball hd to be little lack luster.

I used magnum data and worked up. Haven't finished yet due waiting on new dies.

Personally I haven't found any ramshot that's worth a damn.

You haven't tried very hard apparently.

I've tried three of their powders in 4 different guns and none shot well for me. I really wanted Hunter to run in my 30-06 too.

totally agree I had a pound of Accurate 3100 go bad on me. The brand may be the luck of the draw.

I recently got a couple pounds but haven’t loaded it yet. Going to try it in my .280 Rem with 162 ELDX’s, 7mag with 165 Sierra Gamechangers and maybe my .257 AI with 115 Ballistic Tips, though the .257 might be a reach. Hoping I can get better load densities with higher velocities, especially in the .280. As was mentioned above, I’ll use a grain or two over Ramshot Magnum suggestions as my starting loads, as it seems the data I’ve seen that uses both Grand and Magnum shows slightly higher starting and ending loads with Grand than with Magnum.

Check Hogdon Reloading Data Center for loads they tested in a 24 inch barrel.
